Genesect (ゲノセクト, Genesect) is a creature from the Pokémon media franchise.

Origin[edit]

Genesect is a dual Bug/Steel-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation V, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #649 as the "Paleozoic Pokémon". Genesect was created by Team Plasma from a fossil of an ancient insectoid Pokémon, even though their former leader, N, had the project cancelled, as he felt that Pokémon are perfect beings, and modifications through science would ruin their beauty. Team Plasma technologically enhanced it, including adding a cannon which it uses to execute its signature move, Techno Blast.

Techno Blast is a special Normal-type move with 120 base power (85 prior to Generation VI) and 100% accuracy. The move changes in type depending on the Drive Genesect holds, though it can still use the move without a held Drive.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Genesect appears as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon in this game. Upon release, it jumps around the stage, shooting bolts of low knockback Techno Blasts at fixed intervals with the cannon on its back. Genesect will keep firing Techno Blasts until it lands, although it will most commonly fire twice if on a flat surface.

Upon jumping and landing twice, Genesect will proceed to fire a powerful, unblockable laser with infinite range, similar to the Daybreak's except with less KO potential, though still KOing early at a decent 70%. Genesect will repeat this process again before disappearing.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Genesect will not appear until having played Endless Smash at least once.
